I've been binge watching your video. I absolutely love them. I really enjoy seeing real world reviews of these trees. I'm also learning so much about cultivars. Thank you!
@@maplecollector4398 All of your trees are amazing. I'm very new to Japanese Maples; I've been collecting for about 3 months and am up to 60+ trees. Huge learning curve and your channel is really helping.
Wow! I have maybe 20 J Maple varieties and I'm surprised I don't have a single one in common with your collection on this video, even though it came close hahaha. Some on my collection: Shishigashira, Mikawa Yatsubusa, Sango Kaku, Fireglow, Katsura, Otome Zakura, Phantom Flame, Purple Ghost, Red Flash, Emperor 1, Nakakamodo, Shin Deshojo. I'm surprised none matched!
I do have a couple of those and have had most of them at one time. I give a lot of my trees away to family and friends but I currently have Mikawa yatsubusa, Katsura and Sango kaku.
Loving this year's spring show. Would you say that "Celebration" is Talon's best reticulated offering yet? Apparently, it's his favorite out of the Ghost Series.
Loved the long and detailed tour. Remind me please of where you live. Several times you mentioned to be sure to give a tree "plenty of sun" and I'm wondering what plenty of sun means. Also that's why the zone and the summer temp range for that part of the zone matters a lot to me. So far, I have absolutely nothing in pure full sun, and little in even majority sun, but I'm trying to learn where I can stretch the limits, so to speak. Thank you!
I live in coastal northern California, zone 10A, Sunset Western zone 17. Keep in mind that the USDA zone is only an indicator of how cold it gets and has nothing to do with high temperatures or humidity levels. Find out what your Sunset zone is. That's a far more accurate description of your conditions.
@@maplecollector4398 As nearly as I can tell, my sunset zone is 28. We have daily highs in July, August, and the first half of September almost always between 95 and 103. I suspect yours are much cooler.
Yes, we are much cooler here. We usually get a day or two of 100+ heat and about a week total of 90+. The rest of the days are in the 70's and 80's. It's very dry here and fall doesn't usually appear until mid November along with our first rain in 6 months or so.
My job is reef aquarium maintenance and I have been in the tropical fish industry for decades. Because of this I've learned thousands of fish, invertebrate and coral genus species names. I guess Latin names and all of the other names come easy to me at this point.
Bags are a bit more maintenance because you have to water more frequently. I do prefer them though because they produce a nice rootball with no circling. I start at the 3 gallon size. The smaller they are, the quicker they dry out.
This is my first year with it, although I'm sure that it will change. So far, it starts out hot pink with subtle variegation. The variegation is now increasing with each day. It's definitely an exciting cultivar.
@@maplecollector4398 thanks 😊 but may I ask what's proper care in your point of view please? I try to care for my maple but based on different information on the Internet, I was interested in your opinion..
I like the way the root ball grows in fabric pots. They do dry quicker though. I have to really keep up on the watering. When I move them to my display garden, they go into ceramic pots.
@@maplecollector4398 When its time to plant your Maples in a ceramic pot, do you remove the grow bag or just plant it along with the Maple ? I recently panted a Maple in a large clay pot still in its grow bag. I was a little worried the fabric would hold to much water after being buried. Im concerned that it might keep the roots to wet. Did I make a mistake or will the plant be alright ?
'Ukigumo' can handle sun but not if it's going from a nursery's shade house and then put directly into the sun. It has to leaf out in the sun in the spring. It's best to put most Japanese maples in the shade when purchased with leaves. You can move them to a sunnier location once the leaves have dropped, in the fall.
You live in U,S,A,? I live in Groningen im the Netherlsnds. Is it possible.to publish the latin names? You pronounce them in the english way and I listen with dutch ears!! I enjoy so much your movies! You probably live in other climate conditions then me Many maples do not survive here. I woild lilke to buy from USA but they do not export to Europe. I buy on Boskoop but they do not have everything. Jos Kok
Thanks for watching! I will see what I can do. There are a lot of species and cultivar names in this video but I will try to do that when I have some time. I do live in California, U.S.A.

13:33 Twombly's Red Sentinel baby put in the corner but it still looks good! Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing your display garden!
Your collection is stunning. My dream.
Do you mind putting the names in the description of your video next time?
Gorgeous trees my friend ❤
Thank you.

Yes, I do think that it's his best reticulated introduction.

How in the world do you keep up with all the names? lol I'm enjoying getting started in the JM hobby.

Lovely collection, I always look forward to your new videos. Would you recommend worm castings as a spring top dressing for maples?
Thank you. I've never used worm castings aside from the fact that there are lots of worms in my compost. I would think that they are beneficial.
I miss your videos, man.
Thanks. I might do one soon.
You have bags and pots, which do you prefer?? I hear they can grow into the bags. Great videos!
Bags are a bit more maintenance because you have to water more frequently. I do prefer them though because they produce a nice rootball with no circling. I start at the 3 gallon size. The smaller they are, the quicker they dry out.
you have to keep us updated on that acer palmatum noel, the colors on that thing are wild! do the colors hold well?
This is my first year with it, although I'm sure that it will change. So far, it starts out hot pink with subtle variegation. The variegation is now increasing with each day. It's definitely an exciting cultivar.
What fertilizer would you use when you do use it?
nice healthy trees, what's your secret? 😅
No secret just proper care and a mild climate.
@@maplecollector4398 thanks 😊 but may I ask what's proper care in your point of view please? I try to care for my maple but based on different information on the Internet, I was interested in your opinion..
I have noticed you use lots of grow bags. Do you prefer them over pots, especially plastic? Are they in the bags until you buy a ceramic pot?

Where do you get these trees from...
Many different sellers. Mostly online and local nurseries.
What's the variety appearing in the thumbnail?
That is Acer palmatum 'Fujimami nishiki'.
'Ukigumo' can handle sun but not if it's going from a nursery's shade house and then put directly into the sun. It has to leaf out in the sun in the spring. It's best to put most Japanese maples in the shade when purchased with leaves. You can move them to a sunnier location once the leaves have dropped, in the fall.
heys where did you get the acer ilium folium from?
I'm not sure which one that is. Are you talking about Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium'?
You live in U,S,A,? I live in Groningen im the Netherlsnds. Is it possible.to publish the latin names? You pronounce them in the english way and I listen with dutch ears!! I enjoy so much your movies!
You probably live in other climate conditions then me
